Anyone install a diesel heater to supplement their furnace. I have a 2021 rpod 202. We don’t winter camp but in Colorado it can get cold out of no where during spring and fall. I’d love to see any ideas for install.

No, but I have seen where people have added a heat exchanger/fan and tubing with a recirculating pump. This allows use of the water heater as a hydronic heat source. It is likely much safer than installing a Diesel heater.
